‘Kid Poker’ documentary proves huge hit after Toronto premiere

The heavily anticipated PokerStars produced documentary charting the life of Canadian poker legend Daniel Negreanu premiered to an exclusive audience at the Toronto International Film Festival last night, and has received some highly positive feedback off the back of its debut screening.

Totally blown away watching #KidPoker didn't think I would cry through half of it but yup. Can't wait for you all to see it!

The film itself, which is scheduled to air in Canada via TV network TSN4 next Tuesday (December 1st), gives viewers a behind the scenes look at the star’s journey from early life in Toronto to the glitz of Las Vegas, where he moved to follow his poker dream aged just 21.

According to Negreanu, ‘Kid Poker’ had actually been planned as an additional part of the PokerStars collection of “mini features” for its Team Pros, but his sponsors wanted to go the extra mile to get his inspiring story out to the world.

PokerStars is scheduled to be releasing the full length documentary via their blog in the near future, but for now you can check out the trailer below:

I was in Paris to see 2 amazing shows by U2 (Tuesday and Wednesday) from the "i+e Tour 2015" or "iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour 2015".

Took some photos and videos during my passage to Paris, outside the Arena and then inside the Arena of U2.

U2 played for 141 minutes.

On this second show I stayed on the left side of the catwalk (South Side - Edge's side), same as on the show the day before but maybe more 10 meters away from the main stage, almost on the middle of the catwalk. The concert was amazing.
